Why do you ask?

Splenda is much sweeter than sugar, I usually only use 1/2 of what they recommend to start out with.

Oh do tell me about your sauces please !! Want to make cocktail sauce for shrimp !
The diatetic stuff all has sugar sub. in it. What do you want to use the catsup for? When I began reducing sugars (diabetic) I learned some interesting alternatives that I now prefer to catsup.

On Induction phase (1st out of 4 phases' ) you only get 20 net carbs ( carbs minus fiber and sugar alcohol to find net carb of stuff ) so........ I did find one but can't find it again , ugh !!!! maybe walmart. they all use to have diebetic sections but no more that I can find. thank you

Another thought is to thin it down with water, beef up the seasonings. You would only have 1/2 the carbs if you used tomato sauce and thinned that down :D:D:D
I think you can also buy onion and garlic juice is tiny bottles to use instead of the powder :wink:
